I was rocking with the transparency until my comment about the infamous agent “Smitty” was deleted. AW can chill…dude was murdered in 2018, but not before AW blew the whistle on him to the feds for gambling. Not a single word about it🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️

Buying your mom a house is great , but it doesn’t have to be a multimillion dollar home .. there’s maintenance and taxes every year on that home
Everyone talks about the money Antoine spent on stuff but no one ever seems to remember the money he gave away. When he was traded back to Boston in 05, he took all the rookies on vacation and paid for everything (I think it was reported as Vegas) He used to give the stipends away to the ball boys. All those NBA players who made millions who Antoine took on vacation and paid for everything were nowhere to be found when he needed help. Pick better friends Antoine and remember the people who ignored you when you needed help.

@stryfetc1 When you grow up without money sometimes you do stupid things when you have it. The real problem here is all the people he helped who wouldn't help him. Imagine being generous to everyone you know but when you need help they won't pick up the phone. I will say, Antoine needs to remember those people and how much he helped them but they wouldn't help him.

@@RickRijuanaPro That's somewhat true, but it's more about what you focus on. I didn't come from a family who taught us about how to keep and grow your money, but I made the decision in high school once I took accounting as an elective. From there I started to network and learned how not to just make money, but what to do after I had it. Like anything else in life you have to focus on what you want....then do what's necessary to learn as much as you can. There were numerous athletes and entertainers who went broke before him, so I'm sure he knew that it was possible to go broke if he didn't handle his business the right way.

Jamal Mashburn runs more than 90 businesses, starting with an Outback Steakhouse he purchased with his NBA earnings immediately after retirement. He now owns 34 Outback Steakhouses, 37 Papa John's, various Dunkin Donuts, and a total of five car dealerships. He came into the league a few years before Walker. You mean to tell me he couldn't reach out to him considering they both went to UK.

The best thing this guy ever did was being very public about how he wasted his money. I'm sure his stories have had an impact on a lot of athletes that came after.
Loved Walker as a player but I do not feel bad for any athletes that blow their money and are now struggling. Make better decisions.
Cash rich, "poor" mentality people. Lottery winners go through the same thing.
You gotta learn how to manage and invest your money before you get real money. If you’re living check to check now, you’ll do the same if you ever get real money.
For all of you youngsters that are interested.... There's an old ESPN 30 for 30 Documentary called BROKE..... (still one of my favorites) Everyone should go check that out💯
It's ok to have a vice but the more vices you have the more money you need to be making per vice.
Respect for admitting this, but wow imagine the hurt. You had to sell your mom's house because you bought a bunch of cars, watches, and clothes.
Sad situation 🤦🏾♂️
I respect the brutal honesty. The crazy part is he still could've flossed heavy and stay very comfortable. Maybe he should've purchased 3 of everything instead of 10-12?

He was ballin and gettin paid. Just gotta find a way to keep it coming in if you gone ball extra hard. Money Mayweather that dude spend alot but it’s coming in heavy. The man wire transfers are full phone numbers. Bezos dude yacht crazy probably spent 100m’s plus on it but he don’t feel that cause the man make money in his sleep. That’s when you really won the game when you can lay down go to sleep and wake up with more money then you had that shh is insane.
